I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

Kids! I'm not lyin when I say, times being what they are---it's important you BACK crowdfound projects NOW from companies u want to stay around. The Night Hunters Kickstarter has less than 24 hrs. The art is gorgeous AF. Its the book we wanted Van Richtens to be. Honestly what're you waitin for?

I really liked playing this game's demo! It's maybe the best version of a heist game on every level, and I look forward to playing the whole game.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Been doing a lot of freelance work the past few weeks, which is good, but I'd really like a steady paid gig, even if it's just contract work. Reliable work with an end date is better than freelance work that has zero predictability. So, if anyone needs a guy to edit/QC their captions...

The trans color jumbo silicone dice now come in the standard size as well!!!! They’ve been added to the shop ponder TRAHR - Silicone.

Hey, just in case you need me to state it explicitly here to know where I stand? Fuck ICE. The wannabe Gestapo can eat shit and die. And while I'm at it, fuck AI. If you support either of these things, you're invited to kindly unfollow me forever.

Seems relevant. From Absolute Wonder Woman #3.

“A.i.”’s primary function is cheating and fraud. It is a natural tool of fascism, pushed by fascists. Do not use or share that shit.

Game Masters! I have a question for you? How do you get Players to engage in a Horror story while not necessarily be scared themselves. Especially if you're playing a game like D&D that is built on character empowerment. Our new Night Hunters Kickstarter, has the answer - youtube.com/shorts/hfYdj...

Hey, is it just me, or did the Dropout app for Xbox get worse? I've had to log back in three different times over the past week, and it resets my captions to off every time. Would love it to go back to staying logged in all the time and keeping my captions up and running.

A game I worked on is coming out really soon. Made in Africa. Please check it out 😭😭😭😭

“In the years ahead, as more and more of what makes us who we are is gobbled up by fewer and fewer ghoulish robber barons, we’re all going to have to decide how much of ourselves we’re willing to keep renting from people who hurt us.”

So, hey, if you're hiring actual people to edit your subtitles or dub scripts or what have you, or to do data entry type tasks, I'm very available and easy to work with. 😅 Please hire me so I don't have to train someone's AI just to survive.

Every day I look through job listings, I'm confronted with the notion that it is impossible to have an anti-AI stance while unemployed. So many jobs within my area of expertise are all about how to train AI to be better, or feeding your work into AI, and I just need a steady paycheck.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Every time I check BlueSky, I think, "I should post here more." But that means that I'll inevitably scroll my feed, see whatever horrible thing is going on in my country this time, and then spiral for the rest of the day. So, uh, if you wonder why I post so infrequently, that's why.

Well, it's a new year, but not a new me, just the same guy trying to find work that I was last year. So, uh... anyone wanna help employ a writer/editor who has worked on subtitles, dubbing scripts, and even books? Anything would help, but bonus points if it's a steady gig that pays regularly.

You know what? I'll take it.

This was a rough year, the likes of which I haven't had in 8 years. It's not easy getting laid off, even worse when your job offerings dry up because of the AI wave spreading like wildfire from company to company. I hope I can find some steady work in 2026 with a company that values its workers...

THIS. Less funneling profit to a handful of execs and more investing in the workers making that profit to begin with. The success of a company is a group effort, and all of that group should be rewarded when the company is doing well. Not cut loose so graph line can go up again.

It's my birthday today! ☺️ If you could spare a repost, it would be much appreciated!

Another week, another desperate plea to the universe to erase AI from reality so we can go back to employing actual living people instead of trusting some programmer's plagiarism machine to do the work. Or, better yet, to make universal basic income a thing everywhere.

Per independent experts, layoffs last month were over 153K — the worst October in 22 years. Over 1 million workers have been laid off this year, partially because of AI and chaotic mismanagement of the economy. Welcome to Trump's "New Golden Age."

Excerpt from Drexa's journal: "Two crystal balls. One of days long past, the other of days yet to come. Both rotate through the socket atop my staff depending on the day's needs, though as a historian I hesitate to look too far into the future while scrying through time..." ko-fi.com/s/c707b8db30

It's game night! Jumping back into a family dinner with my group tonight. Last session's dinner conversation was about a sentient moon talking to one of the players in her dreams, we'll see where the conversation goes from there, lol

It occurs to me that I so rarely mention the game I'm currently running, focusing so much on characters from campaigns long since ended. I'm in the midst of a Strixhaven campaign with my group, but we've switched from base 5e to Tales of the Valiant for our ruleset and character creation!

Gods, I'd love to have something like this to fund my creative endeavors right now, but it'll never happen in the US. Not under this administration, and not with the stranglehold capitalism has over every aspect of life here. But I can dream.

I'm trying to keep upbeat as best I can, but I'll be honest, I'm in a bad place mentally. Nothing I've put up on my shop is selling, so I'm kinda at a loss. Someone please hire me to edit their captions or book or something, because I don't know what I'll do when unemployment benefits run out.

I don't know what visual metaphor you need for the moment, but this should do it

Excerpt from Drexa's journal: "This staff has been my companion throughout my journey across the world and to planes beyond, yet I know that its voyage will not end with me. Its destiny lies in hands other than mine, but until then, it will be a symbol of my station." ko-fi.com/s/c707b8db30

Excerpt from Drexa's journal: "Hm. I may have to pass this tarot deck on to someone else. I think the illusion magic of this deck has absorbed some of my particular brand of dry wit. And since there's already a sarcastic oracle in this house, time to find it a new home." ko-fi.com/s/c707b8db30

Here’s last night’s story about Bari Weiss, CBS News, Paramount Skydance, and why the Upper West Side is a lot more than just “Seinfeld territory.” youtu.be/gieTx_P6INQ

Excerpt from Drexa's journal: "I don’t know if it was delusion on my part... But take up the mace and shield I did, and so too did I bring her journal. This Journal of Fate will chronicle the journey of their chosen, though it will be written from here on out by my hand." ko-fi.com/s/c707b8db30
